I started teaching private lessons while in high school (for about 10 years now) and have worked with students of all ages! I have worked with advanced high schoolers, adults learning to play, and students that have recently switched over to saxophone from another instrument. I work in the summers as a saxophone instructor for multiple marching bands and have worked at Mill Creek High School near Atlanta while in my masters as a weekly saxophone instructor. My main instrument is saxophone, but also feel comfortable playing and teaching clarinet!

I have many different method books I have used, but each student is different and requires a unique plan of attack. I grew up using the Standard of Excellence books while in school, and think that can be a rewarding first book to use. I try to incorporate as much "real" music as possible from the beginning, whether that be actual saxophone repertoire, or etudes. (Etude books I pull from the most include Klose, Berbiguier, Ferling etc.) I have many teaching materials from my former and current teachers too that I have on a dropbox folder that I make readily available to my students. I focus on fundamentals and scales in lessons as I believe these are the building blocks to be your true and expressive self while playing music.
